Ripe Olive

6005-4B

Ripe Olive is an olive taupe with a muted golden green undertone. It is earthy. Reserve it in a mudroom, den, or kitchen with wood and stone finishes.

That depth gives walls a grounded quality. For Ripe Olive, Cream trim plus black iron. In rooms with little daylight, the olive can fall back toward brown gray. A creamy ceiling helps.
